Why shouldnt the best actor be for the best performance regardless of which game it appears in?

American news media talked about Bukele less because Bukele’s allies advertise more in US media.

It has danced around notions of being a democratic republic.

I have nothing to directly point my finger at but I wouldn’tbe surprised if most major US energy companies played a role to some degree.

What do you think your reply means?

The fact is price controls are terrible policy and have never worked because we cannot predict the future needs of the market. Unless we magically get vastly better AI that runs the entire economy it is unlikely price controls will ever work so when Chavez instituted them it lead to a collapse of the agriculture sector leading to hunger issues.

Some of the economic problems were self created because many leftists have zero formal economic backgrounds and thus have trouble separating reasons for factual historical failures of specific leftist policies, like price controls or rent control being extremely problematic historically speaking, vs what is merely capitalist propaganda eg “capitalism is the only system that works” which isn’t true historically speaking.

The country went to shit before Chavez died as a result of many backing away from trade as a result of US demands as well as a slew of bad policy choices that turned them from a food exporting nation to one that imported food which collapsed the economy. Chavez and Maduro instituted price controls which have harmed the agricultural economy significantly which further harmed things.

That being said while their results were bad their intentions were good which is not going to be true of whatever puppet government the USA would install.

Chavez in his first few months/year of being in office would be a good example of a non-authoritarian in that role.

My problem with Maduro and many of those in the post early days of Chavez taking over is that far too many seem to have a tremendous amount of money that they cannot explain how they came across legally. Executives at PVDSA, the state run petroleum company, seem to be extremely vulnerable to this corruption.

You can make the case that dictatorships/authoritarian structures are needed to protect a socialist revolution, which Im not sure I entirely agree with, without supporting the theft of state resources by people in the government.

This is the weirdest looking humidifier I have ever seen.

The cursed item was the chair you sat upon when you ate the soup, fool!

Intelligence is being able to describe why rain exists and why it is raining. Wisdom is understanding that you can do the above while not standing in a rainstorm

Wasn’t it copper-silver-electrum-gold-platinum? That would be the order of value as I remember it but I haven’t looked at the boxed stuff in years.

Yup, Skrewdriver are an early UK punk band and they are neo-nazis.

Hey we could be living in a Naziesque Christian theocracy. The technocrats havent won yet.

Christmas STARTS on 25/12/yy and ends on 6/1/yy. As it is 25/10/25 we are stil two months away from the start of Christmas.

There’s a song called the 12 DAYS of Christmas. I will never understand those who think it’s a 3 month season.

A lot of candy and sugar work and some of the more delicate pastries.

It’s worth remembering a TON of stuff just couldn’t be made with older technology.

This entirely depends on what you are making. Somethings need a certain amount of heat to get going so longer times will not make these reactions occur but that’s rare in baking.
